i adore both actors, so i was proclaiming this my "new! favorite! show!" before i even started watching it, har har. anyhow, we watched the first episode and i really liked it. here's hoping it stays awesome.

My husband didn't like the second episode as much either, but I really liked it because it was definitely a character-driven episode. It filled in a lot more of the "where are these guys coming from, what's their story" questions I had from the first episode. I think he was expecting a lot more action and movement in the solving the murders part of the story.

I'm telling you, if McConaughey doesn't win some sort of award for this, I don't even know.

yeah, the second episode felt very Fire Walk with Me, with the diary and the drugs and the king references and all that. it made me a little nervous, because i don't want this to turn into a collage of all the best aspects of earlier murder mysteries, but so far this show seems like it could hold its own. even if it spiraled into derivative corn, i'd probably keep watching it just for the soundtrack.

My sweetheart and I both sat on the couch for about a minute saying "What? What? What?" like crazed Whovian parrots.

Us too! We both did the slow turn look at each other with that same "ugh" face.

I'm telling you, I want MM to come to my house, sit at my table, drink beer, and just talk at me about religion and philosophy and TV shows and candy bars and bongos or whatever he wants to talk about. I could listen to him talk (like he talks on the show) for days, I think.

I won't know what to do with myself on Sundays when it is over. Eight episodes is so short!!

This show is so good. We sat around trying to get the HBO Go that we steal from my sister to work, but it seemed to be overloaded with people trying to watch it or something! Nooo. Can't wait to try again tonight.
